2011 Dodge Charger R/T

2011 Dodge Charger

Overview Technically, the 2011 Dodge Charger should have only gone through what they call in the industry a ‘mid-cycle refresh,’ but Dodge updated the new Charger with a such a large number of refinements – over 4,100 – that they are billing it as an all-new car. And why not? The 2011 model is quieter, faster, more fun to drive, better looking and, well, we can go on. The base model is a huge step forward for the brand; that said, we’d go for broke and take the R/T model any day. It receives a robust 370 horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI engine, making it a perfect combination of power and size. Couple the impressive performance improvements with smart exterior modifications and an all-new interior, and we have ourselves a surprisingly good buy for a sedan in this segment. Truly, the 2011 Charger is a win for the reemerging Dodge brand.

What's to Like The drive is quieter and sportier than the outgoing model. Interior modifications make the cabin more upscale, and exterior styling boosts the coolness factor substantially. The power to price ratio is hard to beat in this segment. The Charger has room for everyone’s luggage too.

What's Not to Like Dodge keeps billing it as a BMW 5-Series competitor, which it is not. A confusing pricing structure may turn off a few buyers. While we think it looks great, the styling is somewhat polarizing.

The Drive:DriverSide Driving Impressions When we last reviewed the Dodge Charger, we excoriated the model for producing all the brute power with none of the handling prowess and sophistication the vehicle really needed. We disliked the steering ratio and thought the rough ride and road noise was close to unbearable. We’re happy to say Dodge has turned things around; every gripe has been addressed and eliminated. The new R/T is faster than the outgoing model – by two-tenths of a second to 60 mph – and handles overwhelmingly better, and the brakes feel more capable of bringing the car to a stop when necessary. We love the ride now – it’s taut and muscular feel makes it fun to go through the twisties for once – but don’t think for a second that it’s not still fun in a straight line as well.

Engine and Drivetrain The R/T comes with Dodge’s 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with four-cylinder mode Fuel Saver Technology. The powerplant produces 370 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque and delivers power through a slightly outdated five-speed automatic transmission. No manual is available – an omission that will surely disappoint a few of you. It is available in rear-wheel and all-wheel drive guises.

Interesting Vehicle Features and Options We love the new drive, and some of the car’s greatest new features include w...
